1. First, let's color some of the salt blue. Dilute the dye with water and drop it directly into a bowl of salt.

1. Mix the salt so that it is evenly colored.

1. Dry the colored salt in the microwave. Dry in two steps, 1 minute each.

1. To get rid of lumps of salt, use a sieve.

1. Then we prepare white sand. Dry it twice in the microwave. Please note that the amount of white salt must exceed the amount of blue.

1. Pour equal parts of the blue salt into another bowl and add different parts of the white sand to it. This is done in order to obtain two different shades of blue.

1. Stir the sand in plates.

1. Use a watering can to fill in the first part of the salt.

1. To form inclined stripes, change the position of the spout of the watering can, press it to one side of the bottle. Thus, the sand will only flow in one direction.

1. 11. By changing the colors and direction of the watering can, we get a variety of stripes. As soon as the bottle is full, the salt must be tamped in it. We take the bottle, hold it with one hand, and tap the neck with the other. We slap it with the palm of our hand until the amount of salt decreases.

1. 12. Fill up the rest and close with a cork.

1. 13. A bottle of sand reminiscent of summer is ready.
